E = mc2 for the Chemist: When Is Mass Conserved?Richard S. TreptowEinstein's famous equation is frequently misunderstood in textbooks and popular science literature. Its correct interpretation is that mass and energy are different measures of a single quantity known as massenergy, which is conserved in all processes.Treptow, Richard S. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 1636.

The Mendeleev-Seaborg Periodic Table: Through Z = 1138 and BeyondPaul J. KarolExtending the periodic table to very large atomic numbers and its implications for the organization of the periodic table, consideration of relativistic effects, and the relative stability of massive and supermassive atomic nuclei.Karol, Paul J. J. Chem. Educ.2002, 79, 60.

Nucleogenesis! A Game with Natural Rules for Teaching Nuclear Synthesis and DecayDonald J. Olbris and Judith HerzfeldNucleogenesis! is a simple and engaging game designed to introduce undergraduate physics or chemistry students to nuclear synthesis and decay by simulation of these processes. By playing the game, students become more familiar with nuclear reactions and the "geography" of the table of isotopes. Olbris, Donald J.; Herzfeld, Judith. J. Chem. Educ.1999, 76, 349.

Nuclear chemistry: Include it in your curriculumAtwood, Charles H.; Sheline, R. K.This article takes a look at some of the topics that might be included in a nuclear chemistry section of your chemistry course.Atwood, Charles H.; Sheline, R. K. J. Chem. Educ.1989, 66, 389.

A chemistry lesson at Three Mile IslandMammano, Nicholas J.Teaching principles of general chemistry through references made to the nuclear incident at Three Mile Island.Mammano, Nicholas J. J. Chem. Educ.1980, 57, 286.

Teaching mass-energy equivalenceFoster, Laurence S.It is the purpose of this paper to show how the concept of mass-energy equivalence may be introduced in an elementary chemistry course while retaining a focus on chemistry.Foster, Laurence S. J. Chem. Educ.1956, 33, 300.

Recent history of the notion of a chemical speciesBulloff, Jack J.Quantum and nuclear chemistry have challenged the doctrine that chemical elements are homogeneous entities while studies of the structure and stoichiometry of solids invite a change in our ideas of definite proportions in chemical combinations.Bulloff, Jack J. J. Chem. Educ.1953, 30, 78.
